Kinetics Gel Polish Base SHIELD MAX Base, 15 ml

Kinetics SHIELD MAX Base is a flexible rubber base for bonding the natural nail to the next coating. Apply a thin layer or use it to build the apex, including on short nails and for pedicures. It also works as a thin base layer under compatible builder gel.

Key ingredients and their roles

How to use

Prepare the nail and apply Dehydrator and Bonder. Apply a thin coat of MAX Base and cure for 30 seconds under a UV/LED lamp. For sculpting, build the apex over the thin, uncured layer and cure for 30 seconds. Continue with your chosen SHIELD colour and top coat.

The story behind the product

SHIELD MAX Base supports several application techniques within one system. A thin layer creates a bonding base for the next coating. It can also be applied as a sculpting layer to build the apex.

The rubber-like structure retains flexibility and adapts to natural nail movement. This property matters when choosing material for short nails and pedicures. MAX Base can also be used as a thin base layer under compatible builder gel. The technician adapts layer thickness and technique to the service.

Start with nail preparation, Dehydrator and Bonder. After curing the base, continue with SHIELD colour and top coat. The base provides a flexible foundation between nail preparation and your chosen colour and finish. This lamp-cured material is designed for professional nail coatings, rather than replacing air-drying SolarGel polish.
